Quoting Vladimir 'phcoder' Serbinenko (2023-08-14 13:56:31)
I uploaded the entire branch (patches) to my GitHub copy:
Vladimir, I can confirm that, with the code presently in this branch, my Itanium system boots fine. The regression is resolved.
This statement is valid for Itanium aline. I have not tried any other architecture.

Hi Pedro!
This is a known generic problem with GRUB. You must install gawk instead of mawk.
Thank you Adrian, that worked.

I know I mentioned [1] earlier, but it sounds like it might have slipped
through and it might be a good idea to have both GRUB and Linux in sync
in this regard.
So what is GRUB's current allocation granule, if it is not the same as Linux?
